What are some tips for hammock camping? I like being able to set up and clean up easily and its more mobile than a tent.

their's no comfortable way to fit more than one person in a hammock, whether it says "two person hammock" or not

So arguably the only downside to them. A moot point considering people could easily bring their own.

That isn't "arguably" a downside, it is a downside.

They also suck if there is much wind, you can't run a stove in one, can't reflect a fire into them while you sleep, and you have to be somewhere there is something to hang them from.

Hammocks are fine for some trips but their limitations mean they could never replace a tent for me.

A proper tarp, or a hammock sock will fix any problem with wind.

i dont know if its just my tarp, but my hammock has lasted numerous windy rainstorms without a problem. i just "tighten" it to make it closer to my hammock, and there isnt a problem. and i run an alcohol stove under there without issue, just either need to make sure the tarp isnt insanely close. mine is very big and you can walk under it if its not storming, it handles rain fine without being close so ican run a stove under it.

Secondary minihammy strung up under or aside your mainhammy makes life so much better. It acts as a bench to sit on, an off-the-ground staging area for your main hammock and gear, and easily accisible storage of boots, water, etc when you're sleeping. When I arrive at my camping spot I do things in the following order:
1. lash pack to tree
2. hang minihammy
3. use minihammy to unpack mainhammy and keep it off the ground while I hang it
4. enjoy minihammy as a bench/etc while camping
5. as I climb into mainhammy I use minihammy to store my boots, clothing, water, etc.

If you put the sleeping bag on the outside of the hammock, you don't need a pad or underquilt.

Thats a really good idea, it'd be a good place to store my bag and amenities without bugs crawling in.

Seems like a nice tool for a subset of /out/ings. Sadly, many of mine are not in said subset.

My hammy can be setup as a bivy/swag if need be, but really only in a pinch.
